    An over confident and delusional A.J. Abrams shoots the Longhorns out of the game – 100%.

    The Longhorns go through a couple a long stretches where they look like keystone cops on offense and can’t buy a bucket to save their lives – 100%.

    Duke beats the Longhorn asses – 90%. The only thing that may save the Horns is the short window between games, which could conceivably prevent the soft and politically correct Duke D from fully exploiting the Horn’s achilles heel on O.

    “Horns are far more competitive with Duke than Aggies are with UConn – 200%”

    Yea, wow, that was going out on a limb. I’ve got not problem agreeing with the above. I still have no idea how white washed BYU got an 8 seed. They were one of the worst looking teams I have seen in the tournament so far. Baylor would have had no trouble whooping up on them from what I could tell. Yea, I expect my Ags to get the broomstick in the worst way against UCONN.

    You know, Dogus may just have a wunderkind type of game and carve up that Dookie D. He really has a talent for driving the ball. I would say that his play is the key for the Horns. If he can have his way driving the ball against the slow footed Dookie guards, then Texas has got a decent chance at an upset.

  17. “Horns are far more competitive with Duke than Aggies are with UConn – 200%”

    I don’t really agree or disagree with this comment. Texas LOVES to just stop playing basketball the last two minutes of the first half and the first two minutes of the second half. The Minnesota game was an exception.

    A&M has a habit of going for 8 minute stretches without a bucket from the field.

    I think solid play by Dex will go a long way to keeping the game competitive and hopefully preventing long runs by Duke. However, on any given night I think A&M has a better puncher’s chance than Texas does because they shoot a hell of a lot better than UT does.

    No matter what happens, I will enjoy both games thoroughly.
